Ingredients
For the pastry
- 1 tick (4 oz) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
For the filling
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans divided
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Spray a 24-count mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the butter and cream cheese. Add the flour and mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 24 even pieces (using a scoop makes this easier) and, using a small wooden tart tamper, press dough into the bottoms and sides of the prepared muffin pan. (If you don’t have a tart tamper, you can use your fingers to press the dough into the cups.) The dough should reach the top of the cups.
- Evenly divvy 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans between the muffin cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla, and salt. Add brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the remaining pecans and mix until blended and smooth. Using a small scoop, fill each cup evenly to about 3/4 full and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chopped pecans evenly among the cups.
- Bake until the center is almost set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
